Yes, you can have more than one bank account at RBC—and you can also open an RBC bank account if you have an account at another financial institution. For example, many people complement the chequing account they use for their everyday banking needs with a savings account. Explore all bank accounts to see what’s right for you.
Yes, new and existing RBC clients can open bank accounts in the RBC Mobile legal disclaimer 17 legal disclaimer 12 legal disclaimer 14 app within 5-10 minutes. If you are new to RBC, you’ll need:
- To be at least 13 years of age (14 in Quebec)
- A valid Canadian driver’s licence or passport (Canadian or foreign)
- To be living in Canada
If you would like to switch from one RBC bank account to a different RBC bank account that better fits your needs, visit a branchOpens in new window to talk to an advisor or call us at 1 800 769-25611 800 769-2561 (lines are open 24/7). Explore chequing accounts or savings accounts now.
RBC Vantage is the way we describe all of the powerful benefits you can get just by having an eligible RBC bank account. There is no additional cost to enjoy these benefits—and you don’t need a minimum balance.
Here are just a few ways you can take advantage of these benefits:
- Earn Avion points with an eligible bank account by enrolling your account in the Value Program and making debit purchases in-store or online using your enrolled account. legal disclaimer 13 legal disclaimer 15 legal disclaimer 12 legal disclaimer 14
- Save on monthly fees when you enrol your account in the Value Program, have 2 or more additional eligible RBC product categories, and complete at least 2 out of 3 regular account activities (a pre-authorized payment, direct deposit or bill payment) with your enrolled account each month. legal disclaimer 9 legal disclaimer 16 legal disclaimer 15 legal disclaimer 7 legal disclaimer 10
- Save 3¢/L on gas at Petro-Canada with every fill-up using your linked RBC card. legal disclaimer 14 legal disclaimer 17 legal disclaimer 16 legal disclaimer 15

The Value Program also offers more ways to earn a monthly fee rebate. legal disclaimer 9 legal disclaimer 16 legal disclaimer 15 legal disclaimer 6 legal disclaimer 10
If you currently have the MultiProduct Rebate legal disclaimer 19 legal disclaimer 18 legal disclaimer 17 on an account, but you do not complete at least 2 out of 3 regular account activities (a pre-authorized payment, direct deposit or bill payment) each month, the Value Program may not be the right fit for you.
